I vestigation mrrst be made. Ws j must ask questions of these present, : as they are the ones most likely to know the facts. Miss Raynor, do yon accuse—” "Xo,” and Mattie Raynor sat bolt upright, and controlled herself sutfii ciently to speak quietly. “Xo, T aci cuse nobody, f spoke impulsively, ; and 1 retract anything I said—or suggested ” Xan looked at her with a sort of dumb gratitude. Then Ezra Goddard spoke: "It is a strange ease.” he said: \ “but I should say. Dr. Fraser, that as the poisoner did not succeed in ; his efforts and the person who shot Mr. Raynor did carry out his fai tal mission, that t!ie poisoning matj ter sinks into insignificance beside j the matter of the shooting.” “Not at all, Mr. Goddard. The poisoner is quite as much a erimI inal in intent as the one who fired i the pistol. Moreover, It is my theoi ry that they are one and the same. XYe must admit the desire to kill Mr. Raynor, on the part of somebody. The situation suggests that | this would-be inunlerer tried the j poison process, and. finding that too , slow or too inefficacious, resorted to i the quicker and surer means of j shooting.” "Well,” said Orville Kent shortly, "get busy then, and find out who it was. But go about it by inquiry and evidence and not by the imbecile method of accusing an entirely ususpectable person!” ' The situation Is narrowing Itself down.” Doctor Fraser said slowly. "While I regret the necessity, 1 must. Mrs Raynor, ask you for a frank statement of your attitude toward your late husband.” "My attitude?” Xan said, her head held erect and her dark eyes blazing with Indignation; "that Is a strange ques-ion, sir. I can only say that my attitude toward my husband was that of res{>ect, honor and adI miration.” "And love—Mrs Raynor?” "I don't wnow just how to answer ! i that.” The beautiful brow knitted, i “I assume I must answer, however, i so I will say that while th're was j i comrad-sh'.p and harmony bettve* n j my husband and mvsclf. there was j not what might be called deep af- ; feet ton.” ; “Why did you marry him?” "For reasons of my own—quite apart from affection or ” A matt r of expediency, then?” "Exactly ” Xan seemed pleased ’ w!th *he word. “And the reason for the experience?" "That 1 cannot fell you. Ts you van persuade me that it is necessary I may do so—but otherwise. I shall not answer that question.” Fraser paid no attention to ?ho inyi of her brother, but i ontinued to question Mrs Raynor. “Had you noticed the symptoms I i described as being those of poison?” *’l had noticed that my husband did not seem very well, but I ascribe } , it to the changing diet ho was etprnally trying." "Meaning t.iat sli.ss Turner experimented on him?” said Fraser quickly "Only in the pursuit of her doty I know that my husband was a faddist as to his diet, and I know that -Mi -s Turner, as well as other dietitians he has employed, did her best to please h:m ” Instead of .seeming gratified at this vindication of herself. Eva Turner looked curiously at the speaker. "I thank you.” she said, at last, nodding her head in Xan’s direction. r=ai! .M? ,r I m w hi ji 'j ip*-" . tip if. ij! i| !*•*# W i i|W^pw| "BOTH ARE SECRETEV GLAD OF HIS DEATH."

ar.* secretly glad of the yux.r man’s death." orvillo Kent turned on her in a fury if passion tail Kz.ru Goddard laid a restraining i.and on his arm. "Keep quiet. Kent,” lie said. “Miss Turner, you are making a grave statement-’’ “I am," she responded, her face white ands* 4 ?, "but you can determine the truth of U for yourself As the principal witness, as the one who first turned the light. on a deed done in the dark, l hold that my testimony is of utmost importance and should he considered first of all." "You are right, Miss Turner." Dobbins said: “if you saw the dead man and those two people in the room, there can be no doubt, blit that one of them fired the fatal shot. The question Is, which one?" "That ought to be easy for a deter tlve to discover,” Miss Turner said, carelessly. The woman's face was almost distorted by fury Goddard looked at her curiously. Why should she be so wrought up over the matter? Why so bitter to ward Nancy Raynor, and, inferentlally, toward Finley? Was site in love with tbe dead man? Or with Finley? And then Miss Mattie broke in again. "Oh, Nan." she cried, in a walling tone, "oh. Nancy, why did you do it? I saw' you—l saw you drop pellets in DoKulas’ teacup—twice I saw you—” "Did you do that, Mrs. Raynor?" Fraser tired at her, suddenly. "Yes —’’ faltered Nan, "yes—l did." CHAPTER VII The Sole Clew The afternoon sun shone brightly on the great beds of blossoms at Flower Acres. The funeral of Douglas Raynor had taken place, and the family had gathered again on the western terrace for the tea that was dally serve dthere. The la.w had stayed the investiga tion of the tragedy until after the last rites were held for the victim, but even now the sinister figure of the detective was seen coming toward them. v "I say." declared Kent, “that’s too bad. Nan mustn't be Interviewed now. She's all in with nervous excitement and fatigue. That detestable Dobbins person can surely wait till tomorrow —" "I’ll tell hint so,” said Ezra Goddard, quietly, and he rose and went to meet Dobbins. "Come and talk to me first," Goddard said, leading the detective into the library. "Surely you don’t want to intrude upon Mrs. Raynor just

now You’re on the wrong track Dobbins Mrs Raynor never shot her husband— ’* "Then Finley did it. It rests l>e tween til* 4 two. And at any rate, she was poisoning him Why. it’s an open and shut c./ts->. Here's the lady, with an elderly husband, who is un kind —positively cruel to her. and here's a younger man, in love with her and she with him —” "Hold on there, Dobbins." "You ean't deny it, I find that Finley was a rejected suitor when she married old Raynor—for his wealth, of course. Now, she's stood two years or thereabouts of the old man, and she just gave <t. Sin couldn't put up with hirn any longer. •So, she being a deep sort takes to a slow poisoning process. Three different people have told me they have seep her slipping little white tablets Into the tea cup or wine glass of hot hush ind.” "1 can believe it!” “They said it. anyway. The sister Is one —and two other credible wit nesses say the same. Now, you must admit that looks bad. Ugly—that’s what it in—the whole case is ugly.” "It is—l grant you that. But you must remember, .Miss Raynor is no friend of her brother’s wife—they have never been congenial-—” “That’s neither here nor there. Say they couldn’t hit it off together, that’s no reason for Miss Mattie to make up a falsehood about the p<>; son.” "They may have been harmless tablets—bicarbonate of coda —” “No, no. The man had a nurse looking after him —why would the wife administer medicine —and why secretly?” "That secrecy business may boa mistake. Or merely a secret from Mr. Raynor, who would have theen angry if he had thought liis wife was dosing him.” “AH right, Mr. Goddard, if that is the true version of the tablets, then surely Mrs. Raynor can’t object to explaining it as such She will have every chance to vindicate herself, ami Ford knows, I hope she can do It, But my duty Is plain, and I think the sooner I get at a serious inquiry, the better.
